My friend lost this one to a fire earlier this year. If you have a mechanical oil pressure gauge, make sure the plastic line stays in the back of the gauge. It was really nice, had 14 grand in it, insurance paid him 28 grand, then it went on ebay for 3 grand but not by him.

Do many people say: "Hey, Nash Bridges car!?" :eek7: or do they not know of it? It wasn't the "biggest" show in the world but most, if not all Mopar guys will know that Cuda, I'm just curious about the "Joe" public.

It wasn't the "biggest" show in the world but most, if not all Mopar guys will know that Cuda, I'm just curious about the "Joe" public. I have surprised how many people know about the car. I took a piece of trim in for polishing and the guy asked what car it was for, and when I told him he hinted he wanted to see it . The next day he called and said the part was finished and could he deliver it that evening. No charge, if his girlfriend could take some pics. And he is a bike guy. His girlfriend said she loved the show and had to see the car.

This White 71 Challenger R/T sat in a carport in my area for years. I was able to rescue it and then went through a divorce. I sold the car to ChallengerGary who restored it as you see it now. It is a 340 R/T. I don't know where this race car is now.

In 1980 I bought my Challenger convertible. At the same time my Uncle who raced was doing some work at Indy. He got this photo for me. I have never seen it anywhere else. HotRod recently had a Mopar photo issue. They had 1 picture of the pace car and said it was the only color picture they had seen. I do not know if this is the car that was wrecked. I believe it is a parade car. It is in color, so maybe there are 2 color photos from the race.

There was an article in MCG last month. All of the original Pace cars are in a private collection in Indiana. My sis-in-law is good friends with the owner and she says he has about 75-100 cars, mostly Mopars. From the pics she showed me I counted at least 14 Hemi Cudas. Wish I had that kind of money...

That was an awesome sight but I'm always struck by how some people put the trunk down and some leave it open.Whenever I see a car at a show with the hood and trunk open it reminds me of a car that broke down on the side of the road

Yes it is. Pietro Frua rebodied this R/T SE in 1970. If you look at the door shut lines and compare them with the wheel wells, its apparent that he stretched the car. It still has its JS29N0B vin code, so it still IS technically a Challenger

WOW I was going to argue. My first thought was a Jensen Interceptor. :clueless: But not realy even close. That is wild, the interior shot of the car shows its Challenger roots. Very good looking car! here is a link to more pics.http://www.pietro-frua.de/1970_dodge.htm (http://www.pietro-frua.de/1970_dodge.htm) Learn somthing new every day!

I love that car! It's gorgeous! Pretty wild how it still has the E-body steering wheel and dash!
